Kindle Scribe features possibly coming to Kindle apps

As part of my ongoing work to reverse engineer Kindle e-book formats I regularly examine new Kindle firmware and app updates for interesting changes. Lately I have been seeing increasing code related to handwritten annotation and notebook features being added to the Kindle apps.

So far those features have been exclusive to Scribe devices. This may be a sign that Amazon intends to expand those capabilities to apps, many of which run on devices with pen support.
